Revision history for Perl extension IPC::System::Simple.
1.30 2020-03-23 21:16 America/New York
* SUBSTANCE: On MSWin32, make Win32::Process a prerequisite (needed
for non-Strawberry Perl builds). As recommended by A Sinan Unur.
1.29 2020-03-22 08:22 America/New York
* SUBSTANCE: Better workaround for bug in perl-5.8.9
(GHI 23); contributed by Slaven Rezić.
1.28 2020-03-21 21:39 America/New York
* SUBSTANCE: Improved handling of shell commands on Windows,
mostly per suggestions by David Wheeler. This should get us
closer to resolving Win32-related issues. (There should be no
change of functionality on Unix-like platforms.)
* TESTING: Add t/args.t per David Wheeler. Modify t/win32.t per
@dylanstreb.
* META: Added Travis and AppVeyor configuration files.
Eliminated use of Dist::Zilla for build. Using older, but
more reliable and better understood (by maintainer)
ExtUtils::MakeMaker-based configuration. Add LICENSE, README,
Makefile.PL, MANIFEST and MANIFEST.SKIP; remove dist.ini. Move author
testing to xt/directory.

Per: https://github.com/pjf/ipc-system-simple/pull/28. Thanks to scop.
* TEST: t/07_taint.t: Use executable name as source of taintedness
Addresses https://github.com/pjf/ipc-system-simple/issues/21
Thanks to Petr Písař.
* OTHER: Typographic corrections:
rt.cpan.org 60211; leonerd++
rt.cpan.org 86403; dsteinbrunner++

1.26-TRIAL 2020-01-24 03:43:20 GMT
TRIAL release only
1.25 2013-10-20 13:38:32 Pacific/Auckland
* BUILD: No longer ship unrequired file Debian_CPANTS.txt.
(GH #7, thanks to real-dam)
1.24 2013-10-18 16:27:39 Australia/Melbourne
* BUILD: No longer mark BSD::Resource as required (GH #6).
* TEST: Skip core-dump tests on OS X. They're not as
straightforward as the test script would like. (GH #5).
1.23 2013-10-08 14:50:50 Australia/Melbourne
* BUGFIX: Silence "Statement unlikely to be reached" warning
(Karen Etheridge)
* BUGFIX: Repository information fix, and typo fixes (@dsteinbrunner)
* BUILD: Converted to using dzil.
1.22 Tue Oct 8 14:49:43 AUSEST 2013
* Same as 1.23 release, but with booched changelog. Oops! :)
1.21 Tue Mar 23 12:08:47 AUSEST 2010
* TEST: t/win32.t has more sane handling of skipped and
unimplimented tests.
* TEST: Author tests no longer leave the permissions of
not_an_exe.txt permanently changed.
* BUGFIX: capture/capturex no longer break STDOUT when
running an unknown command under Windows. Many thanks
to Jan Krynicky for a fix. (RT #48319)
* BUILD: Upgraded to Module::Install 0.93.
1.20 Sat Jan 9 15:08:41 AUSEST 2010
* TEST: t/win32.t no longer claims to have more tests than
it really has. This fixes an install issue under Windows.
RT #53124. Thanks to Erez Schatz and Curtis Jewell for
spotting this.
1.19 Fri Dec 4 14:14:25 AUSEST 2009
* TEST: Added tests to ensure correct behaviour when
calling commands in Windows which are contained in directories
that contain spaces. (These tests are currently skiped,
as they're testing for a known bug.)
* BUGFIX: Spurious warnings about redefining POSIX macros
no longer plague Windows systems.
1.18 Sun Feb 8 19:09:15 AUSEDT 2009
* BUGFIX: IPC::System::Simple should now compile cleanly
under 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 (as well as 5.6.2+). Many thanks
to David Golden for spotting this bug. (RT #43098)
* DOCUMENTATION: "Advanced" is now spelt correctly under
in the section "Advanced Usage". Many thanks to
Raymond Wan for spotting this typo. (RT #42705)
1.17 Fri Dec 19 00:45:16 AUSEDT 2008
* TEST: Tests to ensure that passing undefined values to
systemx() do not produce malformed errors, but instead
well-formed errors. Many thanks to Nadim Khemir for
spotting this. RT #41149.
* BUGFIX: Workaround for a bug under Perl 5.10 where on
some platforms coredumps were not being reported in $?.
Many thanks to the Debian Perl folks for finding this,
particularly Gregor Herrmann.
* TEST: Better diagnostics from t/08_core.t.
* TEST: t/08_core.t now cleans up its core files after running.
Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for spotting this.
* TEST: t/08_core.t is now a main test, rather than an
author-only test.
* BUGFIX: Attempting to call an undefined command is now
a fatal error.
* VERSION: Since ISS is now very stable, and provides a
significantly improved interface to the default system()
command, the major version number has been incremented.
There are no incompatible changes with previous version.
The increment of the major version number is to indicate
stability only.
0.16 Sun Sep 14 11:29:17 AUSEST 2008
* DOCUMENTATION: Updated documentation on $EXITVAL to provide
extra clarification. Many thanks again to Elliot Shank
for the feedback!
* DOCUMENTATION: Noted that run() and system() are aliases for each
other. Thanks again for Elliot Shank for the feedback.
* DOCUMENTATION: Fixed a few missing double-quotes in the
systemx() documentation. Thanks to Andrew Dent for spotting these!
* DOCUMENTATION: Added a feedback section. If you find this module
useful, consider rating it at

* BUILD: Upgraded to Module::Install 0.77
